Atletico Madrid chief executive Miguel Angel Gil has confirmed the club are attempting to sign FC Porto striker Radamel Falcao.
Atletico Madrid are looking to replace Argentine Sergio Aguero following his big-money departure to English side Manchester City and Falcao, who welcomed talk of a move to the
Spanish capital earlier this week, is in fact top of their wish list.
Should Madrid secure Falcao's signature, it could set off a series of transfers around Europe, with Gil confessing the Colombian's arrival could cause Diego Forlan's departure.
Forlan has confirmed he has received offers from Inter Milan - who are reportedly preparing for the departure of Samuel Eto'o - Gil told www.FCInter1908.it: "At the moment we are not interested in selling Forlan, since we have already lost Aguero, but we are currently trying to buy Falcao from Porto.
"If we were to close that deal, we would listen to offers for Forlan."
Forlan has long been linked with a move away from the Vicente Calderon and revealed it would be his dream to move to Italian giants Inter - who could sell Cameroon international Eto'o following a reported offer from Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala.
"I received an offer from Inter. It would be my dream to go and play in Milan," Forlan said.
"I was also contacted by Galatasaray, which is a great team.
"There is a big difference financially between Turkish football and the rest of Europe.
"Turkey is a beautiful country, and there are beautiful cities like Istanbul. It would be nice to play there one day."
